No fixed gauge — simply pick the stitch count that suits your tension and yarn. The pattern comes with clear charts, color-coded instructions and video tutorials for the key stages of the knitting process.

Natalija –
Hi Alicia!
Thank you for your question. Yes, the instructions are correct — you should stop knitting the foot about 5 mm before the tip of the little toe. I do mean the little toe (pinky toe) specifically, not all toes. This helps the sock fit snugly once the toe is shaped.
Let me know if anything is still unclear! 😊
